Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to heterocyclic compounds useful as modulators of TNF ⁇ signaling.
  • heterocyclic compounds useful as modulators of TNF ⁇ signaling.
  • compositions comprising such compounds, and uses thereof.
  • the invention further pertains to pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one compound according to the invention that are useful for the treatment of conditions related to TNF ⁇ activity, including inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.
  • TNF ⁇ is the first and archetypical member of the TNF superfamily (TNFSF) of ligands.
  • TNFSF ligands are involved in the regulation of several key biological processes including cell differentiation, cell survival, cell death, and inflammation.
  • Ligands of the TNF superfamily play a pivotal role in the regulation and orchestration of the immune and inflammatory responses at multiple levels.
  • a common structural feature of TNFSF ligands is the formation of trimeric complexes that can bind to and activate specific TNFSF receptors.
  • TNF ⁇ is a type II transmembrane protein that can be secreted as a soluble form following proteolytic cleavage by a metalloprotease.
  • TNF ⁇ transmembrane and soluble forms of TNF ⁇ form biologically active trimeric complexes that signal through TNF receptors 1 and 2.
  • TNF ⁇ can act on multiple cell types (T cells, monocytes, endothelial cells) through TNFRs to induce activation of the immune system, production of inflammatory cytokines, osteoclastogenesis, and cell death.
  • TNF and TNFSF ligands are implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders (see, for example, E.C. Keystone et al., J Rheumatol, 2010, 37, 27-39 ; and L.M. Sedger & M.F. McDermott, Cytokine Growth Factor Rev, 2014, 25(4), 453-72 ).
  • TNF ⁇ modulating agents have been developed and are commercially available.
  • the mechanism of action of clinically-proven protein-based therapeutic agents directed against TNF ⁇ is to act as competitive antagonists to inhibit TNF ⁇ from binding to TNFR1 and TNFR2.
  • TNF ⁇ -mediated disorders include antibodies specific to TNF ⁇ including adalimumab, golimumab, certolizumab pegol, and infliximab.
  • Another approved agent for the treatment of TNF ⁇ -mediated disorders is etanercept, a chimera of the immunoglobulin molecule and the TNFR2 ectodomain which also prevents TNF ⁇ from binding to the cellular receptors.
  • the heterocyclic compounds are beneficial in the treatment and/or prevention of a number of human maladies. These include inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, neurological and neurodegenerative disorders, pain and nociceptive disorders, cardiovascular disorders, metabolic disorders, ocular disorders, and oncological disorders.
  • WO 2013/186229 disclose compounds useful as modulators of TNF ⁇ .
  • the present invention relates to a new class of heterocyclic compounds found to be effective inhibitors of TNF ⁇ activity. These compounds are provided to be useful as pharmaceuticals with desirable stability, bioavailability, therapeutic index, and toxicity values that are important to their drugability.
